It's been obvious for months now but when they announced the Jade/Vertvixen title match for Rampage a week or two ago that's when it really hit home that they have nothing interesting for her right now and will continue stalling.
She had just (easily) beaten Vertxiven in a championship eliminator match weeks earlier so why now is that same person getting a title shot? I thought the whole point of those eliminator matches was that if you lose you fall back and build yourself back up to contention. Vertvixen had done nothing of the sort though. She jobbed clean on the Youtube show in 3 minutes days before she was announced as getting a title shot on TV.
It would be one thing if the story was that Jade is using her power to give herself an easy ride with weak opponents. That's not the story they're telling here though and it would be hard to anyway because why would a face/neutral boss like TK allow it? When Vertvixen and these occasional Dark/easy opponents get title shots the announcers don't play it up like Jade being a heel and handpicking tomato cans to pad her win streak, they treat it as normal and don't even question how that person earned a title shot. The announcers last Rampage were actually talking about how we've seen Vertvixen grow lately. In between her two Jade matches she wrestled twice and lost both in under 5 minutes. And this time she was beaten in 1 minute compared to 5 last time. She's done the opposite of grow. The narrative they were trying to get across is just not what had actually happened. And you could say well it's hard to make it seem like a person whose never won a match in AEW is a legit challenger and you'd be right. That's why you don't give people like that title shots until they've been built up with some wins. The problem is anyone who has been built up they appear to be deathly afraid of putting in the ring with Jade.

Anyone who actually says this is the worst title reign doesn't remember the bad old days of the European title, the Intercontinental and US title being completely useless, tag titles being held by guys who weren't really tag teams, etc. etc.
I mean, you can still think it's the worst title reign ever, but man, I remember way worse.

Jade may be chirping too now I mean, in some ways, she’s right. Maybe she isn’t an amazing worker, but she’s not getting to at least try and keep up with the top stars of the division. They’re doing her a disservice by not letting her sink or swim.

Big Show was allegedly WWF champion in 1999 and early 2000. I had completely forgotten every second about it.

It's not the worst..like Vince Russo was WCW Champion, we're not thaaaat low lol.
But if the person you have to end your champion's undefeated streak is out for like 9 months and you don't pivot at all from it..like, maybe you've booked a shitty title reign.

Big Show was allegedly WWF champion in 1999 and early 2000. I had completely forgotten every second about it. Yeah, Big Show was a worst champion. They booked him TERRIBLY, and were then shocked when he wasn't over in like the slightest after a bit. Booker T's WCW reigns were worse for the most part, too. They booked him with no credibility as the top champion. Jarrett had the same issue to a degree, but still didn't get it quite as bad as he did. Honestly, she's a better wrestler, but Thunder Rosa's reign with the Women's title was worse than Jade's has been, for me. Granted, it's not fair, Rosa was hurt during basically all of it, but if we're not cutting Jade slack for being a rookie, Rosa doesn't get slack, either.

Realization: What if they turned Britt face to ultimately be the one to dethrone her?
At the very least, you can't say it wouldn't pop the crowd.

Statistically, one of Adam Pearce's NWA reigns has to be up there.
